Hello, Emerson! Thank you for the interesting recommendation! I will definitely check it out, and if it is something useful, I will share it with our members here.

Your sentences are correct. The only thing you might want to consider is that when you say “I’m dying to take a nap”, it sounds like you REALLY WANT to take a nap, not drink coffee. Maybe you could just say that you are almost sleeping.

Thank you for sharing the meaning of “demorô”, Guilherme. Yes, that makes sense. The same thing goes for “you’re on!”; it’s mostly used to accept a challenge, but it can sometimes be used idiomatically to accept an invitation.

I’d translate “You’re on!” as DUVIDO! for “I bet I can run faster than you!”,
VOU GANHAR CINCO DÓLARES for “I’ll bet you 5 bucks that Palmeiras can win on Sunday.”, É SEU! for
“I’ll give you R$ 500.00 for your cell phone.”, and SÓ SE FOR AGORA! for
“Let’s go to the donut shop!”.

Great suggestions, Amanda! I think they all work, depending on the context. Just keep in mind that when you say “You’re on!” you are *accepting* the challenge/bet. I guess when you say “duvido!”, you might be accepting the challenge, too; right?
